Quote:FONTANA (CBSLA.com) — The Fontana Unified School District Police Department purchased 14 AR-15 assault weapons to protect students in response to recent shootings across the country, but some school leaders and citizens think it’s a step in the wrong direction.

FUSD Superintendent Cali Olsen-Binks approved the acquisition of the rifles, which are being stored on campuses in locked safes for responding police officers in the event of an attack.

“It’s unfortunate that we have to have that, but it’s the best message we can send to anybody that thinks to harm our children,” said Jones. “The message we’re sending is…not here, not now, we’re prepared for you. And if you seek to harm our children, we will neutralize that threat and you will most likely be killed.”

Warren said, “Everyone wants children safe. At this time, we as a community, we have to come together and find other ways. But in the interim, our police officers need to be equipped.”

FONTANA, Calif. (AP) — The school police force in this Southern California city has acquired 14 high-powered semiautomatic rifles for officers to bring to campuses.

Thanks for the other link! It's great that this is happening - especially in CA!

California politicians are all about the police having guns, just not you or me!

Admit nothing. Deny everything. Demand proof.
If we lie to the government, it's a crime. If the government lies to the people, it's called politics.
Paying for welfare is slavery.

Granted, it isn't allowing everyone to carry, but I think this is better than not buying them. This also shows the hypocrisy. If firearms turn people into evil murders or are innately harmful to people or children, then why did they buy them and put them in a school? By their actions, they just showed the truth of the situation: an armed society is a polite and armed society.
